Thechemical composition of cuticular waxes from leaves of the gboma eggplant (Solanum macrocarpon L.)

2012-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The gboma eggplant (Solanum macrocarpon L.) is an important but still underutilized African green leafy vegetable. During the screening of the leaf cuticular waxes from Solanum plants, an unusual profile with elevated sterols and low hydrocarbon contents was detected for S. macrocarpon cv. UVPP. Detailed analysis of waxes from two cultivars has shown that sterols are made up of 19 and 32% of total wax, which has n...
